Artist/Author: Contemporary Artists' Books

Rating:
Summary: The Pictures
Review: The best feature of this book is the full color. It's a lavish production; very nearly a coffee table book.

The accompanying text was a little obtuse (at least to me), a little judgemental (okay, a lot), and defined the medium of artists' books in a way that I just don't agree with.

Worth having, for the images and for the impetus to clarify just exactly *why* I disagreed with certain pronouncements, but can't hold a candle to other recent books about artists' books.
